proftpd blocking out user?

I've been trying to narrow down my FTP problem, and finally came close today. But could use someone's help. I created a user (webuser) using adduser and added him to a group called webusers. I then carried out the following:

Code:

chgrp webusers /var/www/

so that this one user could have access to all of the folders in my /var/www/ directory. But for some reason when I try to FTP in (Only with this user), it will either time out or simply not list the directory contents. I SSH'd into my server as webuser and even tried to make sure that I could ls the /var/www/ directory and was able to create a new file and then delete it so it is not a permissions problem. So the only thing that I could think of was that perhaps proftpd was blocking that one user? Is that possible?

Here is my proftpd.conf file:

Code:

#
# /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.

then the "d" means it's a directory, the next three letters are for the owner ("rwx" means read, write, and execute permissions), the following three letters ("r-x" = read and execute permissions) are for the group, and the last three letters ("r-x") are for everyone else.

"root root" means that the owner is root, and the group is "root" as well.
